WASHINGTON. Special Telegram, Feb IA.
The Democrats in the house to-day, by a
party vote with the exceptions of Lawler,
Wise and Norwood refused to pass simple
resolution of inquiry introduced by Mr. Bou-
telle, and left the country to understand that
the secretary of the navy is engaged in acts
as to which 1t is not desirable that the pub
lio should be informed or for which there Is
no legal authority. The resolution was aimed
directly at the order which has recently been
issued which applies especially to the Boston
navy yard, but which also has reference to
other yards and to the general policy which
the department has adopted OF transferring
bureaus. and ps il is maintained
by experts in the case OF the Bos-
ton yard, of destroying large amount
of property without law, reason or good
sense. The resolution introduced by Bouteile
some days ago called upon the secretary OF
the navy to furnish the house with the infor-
nation as to the law under which he Ia act
ing In dsmanting the Boston navy yard and
In transferring the plunts OF the different
yards from one to the other ut great expense
In accordance with the new n!an Of the sec
retary, for which it may be difficult for hin
to find any authority in the Revised Statutes.
The committee on naval affairs, after keep
ing the resolution until the last day allowed
by the rules, decided to-day to report it IA
vorably with an amendment which also
called for the number of persons employed
In the different navy yards and the time
when they were employed This was the
unanimous report OF the committee The
resolution was reported by Wise, but Ran
dali moved that the resolution be tabled,
and 1t was tabled by n strlct party vote, with
the three exceptions named.

MlNNrsorA,s LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

New York Evening Post: The Minnesota
legislature has passed hieh-license bill
which fxes the tax for saloons in cities of
ten thousand or more inhabitants at 81 900,
and In all other places throughout the state
where local option has not decided against
liquor selling, at $500 No distinction Is
made between beer and spirit licenses. the
price being uniform for all saloona 1t Ia
thought that a mistake has been made in
having two prices for large and small cities,
and that the resa!t VIII be that the suburbs
OF the larger cities like st. Paul and Mime
apolis will be infested with groggeries which
can be licensed at the $500 rate This was
probably secured IA II compromise by the
liquor dealers, who have been making u
desperate fight against the bill. The old
rate was $lO0 in St Paul and $500 in Min
neapolis. SO that great advance has been
made toward u uniform high license. IL
will be comparatively easy another year to
amend the law SO AZ to make the 81 900 tax
apply everywhere, and this will in all proba-
bility be done, for experience has shown
that public sentiment does not move back
ward IN supporting this kind of legislation.
